This recipe is so easy, but so good! I've made it at least 5 or 6 times...I never use the fish sauce. The last two times I didn't have basil so I used cilantro and liked it much better. I usually put in shredded broccoli slaw instead of the cabbage, but this time I forgot to buy it so I used bok choy.

I wrapped the filling with a flour tortilla instead and added shredded lettuce and the cucumbers inside. Both my kids loved it and they a far from adventurous eaters. I did find it lacking heat, so next time I will probably add some jalapeno. I have a little leftover, and it will make a great salad with the leftover lettuce and cabbage/carrot mixture.

Was really excited to try this. You have to get past the smell that it gives off, but other than that it was good for the most part.
